Today's debacle... err... "project" at the old homestead was repairing the florida room off the back of the house.

Had some water leak in the last heavy rain... it's a low pitch rolled roofing deal so ziiiiiiiiiip, all the shingle off.

Lots of water showing under the asphalt so ziiiiiiiiiip, all the tar paper off.

Lots of soft spots in the decking so ziiiiiiiiiip, cut and patch the roof deck - used up 5 full sized sheets of plywood.

Add 3 square worth of tar paper, 3 square worth of roofing, a roll of aluminum flashing later and done for 10 more years.

Photos never do justice to what you see in person. But there's worse views to deal with when a roofing job gets done:

Finally found a Lincoln Town Car with a grey interior because the interior color is part of the inner door seal. The lady I bought the car from ruined the seal with the seatbelt and slammed the belt in the door and chipped up the paint on the door and door jam...was tired of the wind noise from the foooked up door seal. 20200427_194456.jpg

I'm not doing anything tomorrow so if your wife has a twin sister I'll be over to help.... :giggle:

No twin, but has three younger ones. There used to be a joke about them making a calendar.

Had the TBSS on the trickle charger all day, popped it off and stretched the supercharger. Gotta keep these things exercised.

That makes me laugh on the sister thing. One of my older friends got remarried and I did 2 of his 3 step daughters and he said if I did the 3rd I could do his wife just so I could say I did the whole family. This happened about 30 years ago...lol.

We need more pictures of that beast.

This about all I got. I do t take a lot of pics generally. I always get busy and forget. I'll try to get a more recent one now that I have the original wheels back on it and the dog dishes. I still have to fix the grill latch and straighten the rail it mounts to before I can get the grill back on

Makes me miss the Man Show. No matter how bad the episode could of been the girls made you forget.

I miss when Kimmel was still identifying as a man.
